It seems much has happened in my absence. What happened to all the old story? I was hoping I might be able to get involved again as my life has calmed back down a bit, making it possible to run a few characters again.

Are things starting anew once more? If so, are there any character needs that I may be able to fulfill, or might I pick up some of my old characters?

Welcome back, Windcharger! Yes, the story has started from scratch, IDW-style. It's basically like the Infiltration comics, set on Earth, but we're doing our own storyline. For example, Ironhide's the commander of the Autobot unit instead of Prowl. People lost interest in the old game so it's been scaled down to a smaller setting. There's a new roster list if you want to see what characters are taken and which are not. We seemed to have lost some players after the recent crash, so any help is welcomed and appreciated.

It's nice to see you back, Windcharger. We could use another good player, so take a look at the roster and app for any of the free characters you like. One thing, we have a limit of three characters per player, and we are not accepting fan mades just yet. We're waiting to see how far the cannons take us before letting players app for their own characters.

Whatever you want me to do, I'm cool with it.

Go ahead and app for both Windcharger and Brawn, however we are waiting on Skywarp's player to post. Real life has taken it's toll on some players, so we're giving them some time to respond with their characters. So Skywarp is off limits for now. But feel free to apply for another Con.

Just as a side note, when you apply for an Autobot there is a requirement to decribe an avatar for the character. Just put it after the abilities section of your application.

In the IDW comics, each Autobot has what's called a Holomatter avatar, or driver, so it looks like there's someone behind the wheel instead of just an empty car driving around. Avatars are kinda like holograms only they can appear solid and actually interact with regular humans without exposing the Autobots themselves. So, basically, you just need to describe what your holo-driver looks like.

All the remaining Autobots on the Canon Roster list have pretty distinct personalities. Cliffjumper seems the most battle oriented of those remaining. But I suppose if you're roleplaying them any of them can become more battle oriented.
